Putting layouts in the pop-down menu


FileMaker's default is to automatically include layouts in the pop-down menu via the checkbox within the New Layout/Report dialog box (Figure 11.26). If you want to tidy up the list by excluding some layoutsor you mistakenly excluded a layout from the listthe steps are the same.

Figure 11.26. So easy to miss: The Include in layout pop-up menu checkbox within the New Layout/ Report dialog box determines which layouts initially appear in the pop-down menu.


To exclude or include layouts in the layout pop-down menu

1.

Make sure you're in Layout mode ( in Windows, on the Mac). Choose Layouts > Set Layout Order.

2.

In the Set Layout Order dialog box a column of checkboxes runs down the left side. To exclude a layout from the pop-down menu, uncheck the box by clicking it. To include a layout, click the box again (Figure 11.27).

Figure 11.27. Click the boxes to control which layouts appear in the revised pop-down menu of layouts. Checked layouts will appear; unchecked will not.


3.

When you're satisfied, click OK.
